On this 9-day journey, you’ll uncover the real Cuba that’s far away from the resorts as you explore local art, food, and culture.
Cuba is different, and that’s a big part of its allure. Patience and good humor will go a long way in this beautiful destination; things don’t always go according to plan or work the same way as you might expect from back home.
There is very little to no wifi available, so come prepared and let your boss know you will be disconnected!

YOUR TRIP ITINERARY

Day 1
WELCOME TO HAVANA!
Airport pickup & luggage hold for early arrivals.
Bienvenidos a Cuba! Your adventure begins in Havana, a sultry, sexy city where salsa beats pour from open windows, sweet-smelling cigar smoke permeates the air, and colorful, crumbling buildings stand frozen in time.
We’ll pick you up from the airport and escort you to your accommodation, a cozy, family-owned guesthouse within easy walking distance of prime Havana hotspots. Join your group for an optional dinner out and your first Cuban mojito while the sun sets over the sea.
We recommend arriving by 3pm. If you’re earlier, no worries — we’ll hold your luggage while you get acquainted with Cuba’s vibrant capital city.
Meals: none
Day 2
HAVANA TO VIÑALES
Highlights of Havana, Fusterlandia, and dinner in a local’s home with sweeping sunset views.
Learn about Cuba’s rich culture and complicated history as you explore Havana on foot with a local female guide. You’ll see all the city’s must-see spots, including the Havana Cathedral, Plaza de Armas, Basilica of San Francisco de Asis, Plaza Vieja, and Central Park.
Enjoy a bit of solo time to explore and grab lunch before we head to Fusterlandia, a whimsical neighborhood filled with one-of-a-kind mosaics. Created as a passion project by local artist (and the “Picasso of Cuba”) Jose Fuster, this once-rundown community is now an outdoor gallery of childlike fantasy.
Afterwards, hit the road for a scenic drive to Viñales, a picturesque gem tucked deep in the Cuban countryside. For dinner, you’re invited into a local woman’s home with stunning views of the valley. While Cuba’s resorts have long been infamous for subpar food, homemade Cuban cuisine is healthy and delicious.
Later, you’ll have some free time to explore the historic town center, where multihued colonial houses and charming cafes line quiet, tree-lined streets.
Meals: breakfast and dinner




Day 3
VIÑALES
Coffee tasting, Cuban cigar rolling, & salsa dancing
Today, you’ll soak up picturesque views of mist-covered hills, rolling tobacco fields, and coffee plantations dotted with straw huts in the lush valley of Viñales. This area is one of the agricultural hearts of Cuba and feels a million miles away from the sweaty hustle of Havana. Start your day weaving through local farms and sampling a freshly roasted brew of the region’s deliciously rich coffee.
Next, meet with a local tobacco farmer and learn about the cigar trade from planting to curing to rolling — then try your hand at rolling your very own Cuban cigar to keep. In the early afternoon, unwind with some quiet solo time before rejoining your group and guide for a hands-on cocktail class and salsa dancing lesson. Dinner tonight is at a woman owned local farm for an organic, farm-to-table meal featuring local ingredients.
Meals: breakfast and dinner
Day 4
BAY OF PIGS TO CIENFUEGOS
White sand beaches, snorkelling in a seaside paradise & solo time
Time for a road trip with your new travel friends! Your first stop is the Bay of Pigs, the infamous site of a botched CIA attack in 1961. While the region may be best-known for its notorious political history, it’s also an area of pristine beauty, where white sand beaches meet shimmering turquoise waters, and world-class snorkeling can be found in its shallow reefs.
Get a brief history lesson from your local guide, then dive into the water for a swim and snorkel amid tropical fish and colorful coral. Then, it’s back in the van and onwards to Cienfuegos, the “Pearl of the South.” This beautiful seaside town is known for its stunning French-inspired architecture, leisurely pace, and friendly locals. Enjoy a bit of solo time or join others in your group for an evening out on the town.
You could choose to watch the sunset from a cigar bar along the waterfront, indulge at a chocolate and coffee café, or sway to sultry beats at one of the many live music venues.
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Travel time: 6 hours




Day 5
CIENFUEGOS TO TRINIDAD
Culture & history in colorful Trinidad & solo evening
After a short drive this morning, we’ll arrive in Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled deep in the mountains, where modern street art mingles with candy-colored colonial architecture. Follow your guide down the cobblestone streets and uncover the history of this enchanting city where every turn looks like a postcard.
After lunch, you’ll visit one of Trinidad’s many iconic museums and learn about the region’s unique culture. This evening, you’re free to explore at your leisure. Maybe join the friendly locals in Plaza Mayor for a chat, a cigar, and even a game of dominoes. If your feet are itchy, there’s an underground cave bar that’s perfect for practicing your new salsa skills late into the night!
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Day 6
TRINIDAD
Waterfall swim, picture-perfect beach day and solo time
Trinidad offers the perfect mix of city, beach, and lush mountain scenery — and today you’ll get to enjoy all three! First, we’ll embark on an moderate, but extremely rewarding, hike to the Salto de Javira waterfall.
Take a dip in the picture-perfect swimming hole at the base of the falls, surrounded by towering, rocky cliffs. After, relax at beautiful Playa Ancon, where brilliant, turquoise waters meet soft, white sand.
This evening, you’re free to explore on your own or with your travel companions. Trinidad’s pretty palm-lined streets are a photographer’s dream, so don’t forget your camera!
Meals: breakfast




Day 7
SANTA CLARA TO HAVANA
Che Guevara memorial, classic cars, & Revolution Square
Take a ride along Havana’s beloved Malecón, a sprawling esplanade where ocean waves crash up and over the sea wall and locals gather at dusk with bottles of rum. Then, head over to the famous Revolution Square, one of the largest city squares in the world and where the Castros have addressed the Cuban people over the decades. Your evening is free to explore on your own — enjoy the city’s up-and-coming food scene, then maybe grab a mojito or daiquiri at one of Havana’s cocktail bars where Hemingway famously used to haunt.
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Travel time: 4 hours
Day 8
HAVANA
Meeting with Barbara’s Power, Afro-Cuban culture and artist’s home visit, & rumba performance
Next, we’ll continue to our Afro-Cuban religion tour in an artist’s home. While Cuba is mainly a Catholic country, it still holds tight to African traditions brought over by enslaved peoples to the Americas. Learn how many West African traditions, including religion, language, music, art, and food, have merged to form Cuba’s spiritual practice of Santería. Join a local artist in their home for a drink, a chat, and a delicious Afro-Cuban lunch.
Watch a vibrant performance of Rumba, a powerful, passionate dance style created by enslaved Africans in Cuba in the 16th century. For your final evening, enjoy a farewell dinner with the group and share your favorite memories of captivating Cuba!
Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner




Day 9
HAsta Pronto, cuba
Speed boat transfer & solo time
Today we say our goodbyes — but with plans to stay in touch! After breakfast, we’ll check out of our villa. Whether you’re heading home or continuing your travels, we’ll help you arrange transport to your next stop.


HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION
It’s extra important to support locally owned businesses in Cuba, where small businesses and non-government owned properties are not typical. Many of the accommodations are called Casa Particulares, which are people’s homes that they open up for guests. Each Casa or Casita is different.
Since we aren’t staying at hotels, people’s homes often don’t have a website or even a proper name. Rest assured, our guides know the owners very well. We have been working with these guest houses for many years. You’re in good hands.
Here are photos from our collection of favorite Casitas and Casa Particulares to give you a sense of the accommodation you can expect while traveling in Cuba.
